I think this will do it for you:
from: /915resolution/README.txt
6. My xorg.conf has the following screen definition :
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "device"
Monitor "LCD"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubsection
EndSection
7. 915resolution must run before the X server is started.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(That means EVERY time and with [mode] [w] [h] [color])
So I don't need to
do this every time I put it in my startup scripts. Where these
scripts
are very from distribution to distribution. I'm running SUSE
9.2, so I
put the definition in /etc/init.d/boot.local:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 2002 SuSE Linux AG Nuernberg, Germany. All
rights reserved.
#
# Author: Werner Fink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 1996
# Burchard Steinbild, 1996
#
# /etc/init.d/boot.local
#
# script with local commands to be executed from init on system
startup
#
# Here you should add things, that should happen directly after
booting
# before we're going to the first run level.
#
/usr/bin/915resolution 38 1280 800
8. Start up the X server
Now I bet you have solved the puzzle.... and have a very good looking
display
